This is exactly how it was when I was on two apps (match and hinge). I swiped right a lot more than I would have been willing to AND I read profiles. The number of first dates I opened myself up to go on was exhausting and I experienced some of the worst of the worst. Thankfully none of them compromised my personal safety AND after months of fighting discouragement, the very last first date I was willing to go on turned out better than I ever hoped it could/would. Not sure if it was timing, luck/chance or what. I shudder to think of going back to swiping though.
